Wondering where to buy Vande Rose bacon? The surest place is our own online shop, which ships Heritage Duroc bacon frozen to your door.
Some other websites now sell our bacon too. That is a good sign for a family owned Iowa company.
But it also means you may see more than one price, more than one pack size, and more than one shipping promise. Availability and pack sizes can change through the year, and this guide clears that up.
Here is what we cover:
- Where to buy it direct from the farm
- Which Vande Rose bacon to pick

Where to buy Vande Rose bacon: direct from the farm
The simplest answer is our online farm shop. It shows the packs we currently offer online, and every one comes from our own program.
Buying direct has three plain benefits. You get the full range of packs, not just the one a reseller picked. You get our shipping schedule, which we explain below.
And your order supports the small family farms in our network. We work with those farms to raise every hog crate free and without antibiotics. When you buy from us, that is what you are paying for.
If you go through bacon fast, look at the bacon subscription. You pick how often a box arrives, and you never run out.
The whole bacon line lives on one page. Start at our Vande Rose bacon collection to compare dry cured, uncured, and peppered side by side.
Which Vande Rose bacon should you pick?
We make bacon from Heritage Duroc pork. Our hogs are raised crate free on family farms, with no antibiotics ever, on a vegetarian diet. Every slice is smoked over real applewood.
From there, the choice comes down to cure and pack size. Here is the short version.
| Bacon | How it is made | Pack sizes | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| America’s Best Dry Cured Bacon | Dry cured in small batches, then applewood smoked | 12 oz packs, 6 or 8 to a box | Deep, rich flavor. Less shrink in the pan. |
| America’s Best Uncured Bacon, 2.25 lb packs | Uncured with natural ingredients, slow smoked, thick cut | 2.25 lb packs, 2 or 3 to a box | Big families. Thick slices for the oven. |
| America’s Best Uncured Bacon, 12 oz packs | Same bacon in a smaller pack | 12 oz packs, 6 or 8 to a box | Smaller households. One pack per weekend. |
| Peppered Uncured Bacon | Uncured, applewood smoked, finished with cracked pepper | See the shop | Burgers, BLTs, anything that wants a kick. |
| Bacon Sampler (seasonal) | Four different bacons in one box | One bundle, offered around the holidays | Trying them all. Gifts. |
Not sure where to start? If you want thick slices for the oven, pick the uncured thick cut bacon. If you like a drier, more concentrated bacon, go with the dry cured.

Is Vande Rose bacon sold in stores near me?
Yes, some stores and restaurants carry our pork. We have supplied gourmet restaurants and retailers across the country for years. But we do not keep a public store finder on this site, so we cannot promise a shelf near you.
Here is what we suggest:
- Ask the meat counter at your local specialty grocer. Ask for Vande Rose Farms by name.
- If they do not carry it, point them to our wholesale page. Stores and restaurants can reach us there.
- In the meantime, order from the farm shop. Most orders arrive by the following weekend.
One more note. If you see our bacon on another website, check the pack size and the ship date before you compare prices. Our own shop lists what we currently offer online.
How your bacon order ships
We ship frozen, packed with dry ice, by FedEx. Orders placed Tuesday through Friday arrive the following Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Faster shipping is an option at checkout.
You will get an email with a tracking link when your box leaves. No signature is needed. The driver leaves the box at your door.
When it lands, move the bacon to your fridge or freezer the same day. Keep it frozen for up to a month for best quality. Once opened and thawed, use it within seven days, per the USDA guide to bacon and food safety.
Two limits to know. We cannot ship to PO boxes, and we do not ship outside the United States. Holiday weeks can shift the schedule, so check the shipping page before a big event.
